Capturing a city's busiest streets completely void of all life is not an easy task unless you digitally manipulate your images. No matter what time of day or what time of year you will usually find enough people and cars to ruin your shots. From my experience I have found that there is a two hour window on Christmas morning to best achieve these shots. For 11 years now I have set up my camera and tripod in the middle of the city center at first light. My Project started in Dublin, Ireland and continued on to Vancouver.

Myself and a buddy went to MacDonald Park in Abbotsford's to take some star shots. As per usual it was completely overcast. So we got a little experimental by playing around with long exposures while lighting the foreground with bursts from our flashes. Got some pretty nice results.
